For a man who has missed 39 percent of his teams’ games over the past eight seasons, any presumption of improved health is taken with great caution, but O’Neal said he feels five years younger.

He credits Boston doctors for a surgery that healed his left wrist. After getting a testimonial last year from Kobe Bryant, O’Neal went to Germany after the season to undergo Regenokine treatment on both knees, with the left being his primary concern.

I'm not trying to be a downer, but he said the same thing when he joined the Raptors 4 years back. He said in his press conference that he feels young again, and that he had previously been playing on one leg and now he was fully rehabbed and ready to go.

So, maybe i'm a glass half empty kind of guy or something but I see him playing probably half the season and either missing the playoffs completely (if they make the playoffs that is, which I guess is no guarantee) or trying to play his way through multiple injuries as he has been doing since 2006.
